Welcome and Introduction
Since 1943, ECi has been a proud participant in the segment of aviation dealing with piston powered aircraft. With roots dating back to WWII when ECi was known as Pennington Channelcromium Co., the Army Air Force and the Navy relied on the corrosion and wear properties of chromium plated cylinder barrels produced by PCC. Although chromium plating was considered state of the art 60 years ago, ECi has over the intervening years moved on to new plating technology as well as other innovative and high quality repair processes for all major components of a certificated aircraft piston engine.

While maintaining a strong focus on repairs, a recent change in business strategy has also brought ECi to the forefront of the PMA business. Emphasizing quality products at a price that the market is willing to pay, ECi has set out to support the independent rebuilder with products and services that meet the highest standards for safety and reliability.

ECi has a corporate commitment to being a world class designer and manufacturer of aircraft engine parts as is evidenced by the certification of its Quality Management System to the ISO 9001:2000 international standard and AS9100 aerospace standard. This certification is held by few manufacturers in general aviation because it requires an effort that not all businesses are willing to put forth for the benefit of their customers. We recognize that our future rests in the hands of the thousands of people that maintain and rebuild piston engines; a future that looks very bright to all of the employees at ECi.
